Examining conflict and warfare in Chad from both historic and
contemporary perspectives, Mario Azevedo explores not only how
violence has permeated and become almost an intrinsic part of the
fabric of the central-eastern Sudanic societies, but how foreign
interference from centuries ago to the present-day have exacerbated
rather than suppressed the violence. Although the main objective of
the volume is to understand present Chad, it provides comprehensive
and analytical discussion of Chad's violent past. This strategy
goes beyond putting the blame on the unwise and ethnic policies at
Francois Tombalbaye or Felix Malloum; instead, Roots of Violence
clarifies the role of violence in both pre- and post-colonial Chad
and, thus, demythologizes many of the assumptions held by scholars
and non-scholars alike.
